BERENS ON PROPERTARIANISM AND THE RED QUEEN

The Red Queen Hypothesis in the Natural History of Human Kind: competing human groups seeking to profit via the production of asymmetries in information and violence
Thusly, from an evolutionary perspective, we see the development of human institutions as an evolutionary arm-race between competing, and co-evolving human social groups. However, the co-evolution has been asymmetrical due to differing geographies, historical particularities (path-dependent pressures), and class distributions leading to differential investments in institutional portfolios or what we call group-evolutionary strategies.
Propertarianism seeks to solve the problem of history (the evolutionary-arms race in seeking profit through asymmetrical violence and information) through the moral application of organized violence and testimony, prohibiting theft, fraud, parasitism and predation, leaving man no choice but meritocratic competition in markets for association, reproduction, production, (moral) violence and (warrantied) information.
That is, in more general terms, propertarians seek the transcendence of man through the incremental suppression of parasitism and predation in all social domains.
